This was recced on One Bad Man today. I enjoyed every moment of this funny and fluffy drabble. Hermione's and Severus' non-romance was precious, and Minerva played them both beautifully. Excellent story. 

Thank Merlin for meddling old biddies.

great story, you are a gifted writer

:) How clever and fun!

Delightful fluff! Their romance is everything those two deserve. I'm most giddy that they were able to accept the bluntness, because where would be the fun in life if it weren't for Severus!insults^TM?

What a sweet drabble! Minerva is a meddling old biddy. I want to be just like her.

Incredibly adorable.

I love it! Very creative.

Totally adorable. Loved the charm...genius!

Oh, this was so cute! Though I usually despise Dumbledore's interference and machinations, they were perfect here.

This made me cry! I don't know why...but it did! Just lovely, I can't believe I missed this on grangersnape100. Love the last line "Father exhausted." Brilliant!

You've put me in a wonderful mood, I love it when Minerva meddles...ah daddy Severus.

You do a wonderful job with the baby stories! I liked Minerva plotting, Severus donating and of course this was my most favorite line "Hermione and her baby daughter were having a staring contest.‘We have been given an old soul, Severus,’ she said.The baby gurgled."Also 10 points to your house for an excellent witchy name Esmerelda rocks

I always marvel how with so little words one can get a story but you certainly can, so congratulations on a wonderful one. It's fun, fluffy to a point and devious at the same time.

I love it!   I especially enjoyed how the clock's ticking rate would increase...she passed a group of seventh-year Gryffindors. The boys looked at her admiringly. The Quidditch captain, a tall blond young man, gave her a boyish grin.TickTockTickTock… The ticking sped up.‘What the–’It happened again as she passed a good-looking Slytherin boy, then went off the scale as she walked by a quiet, rather bookish, Ravenclaw.~*~...the ticking changing speed depending on the desirability of every male she passed~*~DOI-ONG… DOI-ONG‘Whatever is the matter, woman?’‘First ticking, now sodding bells.’‘You’re not making any sense.’Hermione told him of the morning’s events.‘Hm,’ Severus said, trying not to laugh. ‘Sounds like Quasimodo syndrome to me.’<giggle> too funny =D~*~...The baby instinctively wrapped her hand around her father’s finger and held on tight.‘She’s got a grip like her mother,’ he said.;D naughty, I love it...‘Have you thought of any names?’...Esmeralda Granger. It has a… ring to it. =D...… I know I’ve behaved abominably, but would you give me a second chance?’‘”I’ve given you my sperm donation, Professor Granger. Now, get out of my classroom,” I believe you said.’‘Well, “It’s time to breed, Professor Snape,” wasn’t exactly very romantic either.’LOL, I can imagine that dialog,  =DFilius made sure the bells would only go off if Hermione found her most compatible matevery sneaky, LOLDaily Prophet: Hatches Matches and Despatchesclever =D Fantastic, I enjoyed laughing out loud while reading it.  Thank you!

This was one funny fic and an original way to get Severus and Hermione together. I loved the birth announcement at the end.

omg lol!!! loves!

Brilliantly written and so funny.

Professor Snape can ring my bell any day

Brilliantly written and as funny as hell!Love It!!Blessings

Sweet and cute.

this was brilliant and hillarious! devious mcgonagall!

I truly loved reading this. The angst was perfect and not long mulled over. Which, in turn, makes me kind of love you. A lot. My favorite part was actually the category that births, betrothals and deaths were called in the Prophet. I have never been quite so amused and entertained amongst angst and undetailed smut before. Thank you. It was a joy to read.~Mia

very witty and amusing.  i liked the somewhat literal take on the whole biological clock thing, and the clever twisty turns of the story.  and i also marvel that one can tell such a complete story in so few words.  bravo!

 Oh my beating heart! HoHoHo! That was such a scream....what lovely light relief,and such 'subtle' turns of phrase!....haven't laughed like that for ages....thankyou! Severus Rocks! Hermione Drops! (TeeHee) Anymore gems to anticipate?
